DO you hear a clicking when you turn the key to start? Solenoid relay make a click sound when energized.
If the solenoid is not mounted on the starter motor then it will be near the battery
The key switch sends power to the solenoid. the solenid is a big remote controlled switch,and it takes power from the battery to the starter motor

Here's a few things to check;
If the battery is good and has a full charge but engine is not turning over at all, check the leads (cables) at the starter is it getting power down to the starter, if not, could be bad connection, bad wires or the ignition switch itself.

If it is getting power at the starter, it could be the starter needs to be replaced. To check, turn the ignition (key) to on and cross the terminals at the starter with a screw driver. You'll see one cable from the starter go to ground (a bolt on the engine) and the other will go direct to the battery, they are the terminals you need to cross with the screw driver. While you're down ther check the terminals on the starter and the ground that goes to the engine, make sure they are making a connection, no corrosion around the terminals.

make sure battery connections are clean and tight. hope this helps.

3.5l V6 Auto. Why is there no power at the fuel pump?

Just answered a similar question. Does it turn over? Either way, I would look for blown fuse and then check (usually) under the hood for a relay. You can some times test by taking another relay for lights or something not needed to run and switch them IF THEY ARE EXACTLY the same. If the pu,p works you will know.

Does a 2000 chevy malibu have a fuel reset button and where? it just died while at a stop sign, so we thought it was out of gas. we put gas in and it still will not start.

Hello mellissa, the 2000 malibu does not have a fuel reset switch. Check the fuel pump relay in the fuse box under the hood. Check for fuel pressure. You should be able to hear the fuel pump come on for a few seconds when you turn the key to the run position....Your fuel pump might have failed.
I hope this helps.

1999 chevy malibu LS

If the check engine light is on, I would take the car to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for fault codes. Most parts stores will do the scan for free. It sounds like it could be a faulty idle air control valve, but getting the codes should end speculation and identify the faults that the computer has noted. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Theft system 2000 malibu ls

try this: turn key on, crank starter for 1 second, leave key on for 10 minutes. after 10 min. shut key off and repeat 3 times. (on second try, crank a sec. or so longer, the reprogram may take off right away. if not, repeat make sure battery is strong, key could be on for 1/2 hr. sometimes engaging emergency brake before key is turned on prevent daytime running lites to come on to save battery power (if equipped). been through it, thought i'd mention it
